Whoo! Got to see an 850whp mk4 on the dyno today, way cool! To make it even more fun, I ordered a couple Aeromotive 340 pumps ;)

Also got my spacers in for the 18" rims, they fit pretty nice with just the 10mm spacing! (pics tomorrow or later)

And, since I split my shift to go to the dyno, I brought my car into the shop once all the work was done later on and put in my 2nd fuel line along with its fuel filter!

I am getting close to being ready for the 2nd dyno tuning! I could see it being a month away :O

No, mother. :p The black braided 17mm hose is on its way, however.

More pressing issue would be finding a home for my displaced catch-can :( Perhaps in the fender? We'll see.

I saw an engine bay pic awhile ago that had the catch can in the fender, the guy used AN bulkhead fittings to get through the fender. it looked really slick. i think it was a MKIV

Umm, ABS + Big brakes = Win.
W/O ABS = unbalanced brakes and scary stops (esp when turning).

I really like that bulkhead fitting idea! Now I just have to find a spot for the passthrough.

In other news, the new T-belt is on, black TB coupler as well. Hose should be arriving today and be all installed and pretty tonight. Als oordered a black positive terminal cover to contiue the black theme.

Just popped by the house and saw the hose has arrived! Picked it up and its purdy (standard braided hose and such)
Whoo!
